Trip preparation
Organising your trip
Insurance
We are pleased to offer a specially developed comprehensive off piste skiing and heli skiing insurance for your trip. You can purchase an annual or single trip policy. Please note you must be an EU resident in order to purchase our cover. Purchase cover on-line or download a summary of our 2011-12 Pure Powder Insurance Summary (pdf, 93kb, opens in new window).
Flights
We are an ATOL protected Travel Agent and have access to consolidated travel agent fares which are normally at a preferential rate. Unfortunately we can only sell flights that originate in the UK but we can direct you elsewhere should it be necessary. Please contact us for more details. To travel in ultimate style, we are pleased to be working with Avolus - a leading private jet charter service - who are offering a 5% discount to Pure Powder guests - contact us for more info.
Heli Skiing Warm Up (Canada)
It's a great idea to organise a few days of warm-up in a resort to get over the jet-lag and to find your ski legs again. Have a look at our Heli Ski Warm Up pages for information about the resorts that tie-in with your trip.
Getting ready
